In a heartwarming display of dedication towards nurturing education, Sagakay Philippines Youth Organization achieved a significant milestone by successfully implementing the “Project Sagakay Magtutungha” initiative. The highlight of the event was the distribution of crucial school kits to 157 young learners hailing from Dalingap Elementary School and Caluton Elementary School, both situated in Brgy. Dalingap, Clarin, Misamis Occidental. This endeavor marked a significant stride in preparing the minds of the youth for a promising future, fostering a powerful alliance between educational institutions and community stakeholders just ahead of the commencement of classes on August 29, 2023.
The event, hosted in the heart of Dalingap, Clarin, drew attention and participation from key figures within the community. Attended by representatives from Clarin MPS, Misamis Occidental 2nd Provincial Mobile Force Company, Charlie Company 10th Infantry Battalion, and other esteemed partners, the initiative eloquently demonstrated the impact of combined efforts united towards a shared purpose. With 157 eager students as beneficiaries, the program underscored an unyielding commitment to closing educational disparities and nurturing the untapped potential of the upcoming generation.
Daniel Alen Cabantac, the President of Sagakay Philippines Youth Organization, expressed, “The dedication of Sagakay Philippines Youth Organization in enhancing educational standards through ‘Project Sagakay Magtutungha’ echoes a profound belief in the transformative prowess of education. We wholeheartedly extend our gratitude to our partners, most notably Ms. Maureen Sande of MilkTeatah, our generous sponsors, Hon. Mayor Emeterio Roa Jr., the Sangguniang Bayan of Clarin led by Vice Mayor Riza Oaminal-Delos Santos, and the volunteers whose indispensable contributions paved the way for this remarkable success.”
The unwavering commitment demonstrated by Sagakay Philippines Youth Organization alongside its collaborative partners stands as an inspiring model of how joint action can yield positive change. As the recipients of these school kits embark on their educational journey, this initiative serves as an enduring testament to the potential for growth and advancement achievable when communities rally behind education.
Sagakay, a nonprofit youth organization in Clarin, Misamis Occidental, was founded in December 2022 amidst a devastating flood that impacted the province. Comprising dedicated young individuals from Clarin, the organization’s common values lie in reaching out to create a meaningful societal impact through acts of service.
